Re: Learning to Walk in High Heels Again

[Guest guest]

Hi Chelle! You're a girl after my own heart! I know that, being only

5'2, my clothes would fit better and I'd look, well, taller if I wore

heels. I'd love to have that sleek, long-legged look! So I've gone on

more than one shopping expedition to buy higher heels, but I've come

home empty-handed all but once. Why? Because I have height issues!

Seriously, it's not about being taller (I'd enjoy that!); it's just

that I live in constant fear of toppling over -- likely, in a very

public place. Do any of those styles come with training wheels? LOL.

Carol Falon had some Naturalizer boots on with a wider heeler. Now,

maybe a style like that would help balance me until I learn how to

walk, perhaps even gracefully, in heels. <covering my husband's ears

with my hands>I'm going to have to check that out!

Wouldn't it be great if there were classes to teach us all the

fashion-related things we missed out on while we were overweight?

Absent that, a shopping trip with Robyn and Carol is a great start!

Sorry I don't have an answer to your question. But I certainly

sympathize with you!

LOL Chelle! I hope Melody read your post. We had exactly the same

conversation yesterday at the " Maul " . We decided that she needed

" training wheels " for her heels.

My advice - start with lower heels, no more than 2 " and work your way

up! Make sure they fit well and are securely held on to you feet with a

T-strap or similar. Wear them round the house for an hour each day.

You'll soon be strutting your stuff around town like a model!

Learning to Walk in High Heels Again

Okay ladies......

I don't know about everyone else, but the larger I was, I couldnt wear

high

heels just because it was too darn painful. Yesterday I went shopping

with my

daugther and absolutely fell in love with a pair of high heeled shoes.

Put

them on, they looked great I was excited because I'm down a shoe

size......then I

walked and I was a little wobly, like it was my first pair of them!! I

wore

them all the time when I was younger and slimmer......but man I felt

like I was

gonna fall over!! LOL So did anyone else have this problem when they

started

wearing them again?

Hi Chelle, Melody and Carol!

Here is the link to me in my new pink boots that I wore to lunch and

shopping with Melody and Carol yesterday.

One of the biggest thrills of weight loss is my ability to wear

heels again. The higher the better! Boots are my latest favorite

purchase. Wear you rheels around the house and practuce walking in

them! You look 5 pounds thinner for every inch of extra height! That

is a big motivator! Can we say 3 inch heels!!! LOL!

LOL...that's ALL I wore last summer. High heeled sandals of some

sort, preferably open toe!

I can't find any boots I like yet. I have some from last yr that are

a short heel and a bit too big (I have big calves STILL) but I have

high heel work shoes! That was the one thing I was glad of!!!

boots with high heels again. Not only do they fit again, but they zip

up comfortably.
